Puerto del Rosario

April 17, 2017

[Week of April 11 - 17]

Tuesday - So today was a pretty good day. We had District meeting this morning. Then  we ate Burger King for lunch, you may ask why? Well it's not because my companion locked us out of our Piso. Haha! So yea we got locked out and we were stranded outside for a while and then we called our deuño or Piso owner to have him help us get back in. After that we had English class at 7. We are starting to meet with Jorge again and we met with him tonight. Then we met with Nathalia and Christian. We shared with them both the Prince of Peace video. They really liked it. It was a pretty good day.

Wednesday - This morning was a finding morning. We were out the whole morning looking for new people and by bad luck I think we were always just one street away from the people. After Medio día we did some more finding in the South part of Puerto del Rosario where tampoco did we find anybody. We stayed down there until about 7 and then we called and set up an appointment with John and his dad to meet at 8. John has been kind of bummed out all of the time recently because he didn't get into the military like he wanted to and for some reason he has connected that with the church. We talked to him today about a Mormon Message called Earthly Father, Heavenly Father. We talked about the love of God and how through prayer we can receive answers and comfort for any situation. He seemed to really enjoy it.

Puerto Del Rosario

Thursday - So this morning we left the Piso a little bit early like at 8:30 to go to Paco and Nati's house in Antigua to do more service out there. We were there until about 1:45. Then my companion and I headed back to Puerto because we had set up an eating appointment with Ronald and Alicia. They fed us some really good lasagna and we talked all about the good places in Puerto del Rosario to get something to eat. Then this afternoon we did weekly planning and our studies. We are excited for the upcoming week.

Friday - Today we had another really good service opportunity. Yolanda called and asked if we could help paint her house and so we said yes of course. She lives in a Piso with three stories so you could say there was a lot to paint. We were there for about 6 hours today painting and then she made us paella for lunch. Then my companion and I taught English class. Then we met with Jorge again. He recently had a friend that passed away so he was kinda bummed about that. We shared the Because of Him Mormon message and talked about how Christ overcame everything so that we can feel comfort in these hard moments and so that we can feel love in our dark moments. He really liked it and seemed to feel a lot better afterwards.

Painting Yolanda's House

Saturday - So today we went back to Yolanda's to finish the painting. Today we were there for about the same amount of time and we worked to try and get it all finished. We finished probably 90% of it which is a big help because she could just finish the rest after we left.

Sunday - Today was good, church was good. Then we went to Zenon's house for lunch. Then after that we had Correlation with Zenon. Then my companion and I did our studies. Then we contacted for a good amount of time later today. It was a pretty good day.

Monday - Today we are going to go bowling with Zenon's son, Zenon. Other than that we don't really have any other plans. I'll let you know if we do anything cool.

New Suit

I'm sorry to hear about Zelma's passing, please send my condolences. I'm excited for Sam to get his Eagle that's gonna be so good for him. It also crazy that he's going to Prom. He's getting old and I'm getting older, I can't wait to see him soon here in 7 months and beat him in a wrestling match. Yes I got my Valentines package about a month and a half ago. Thanks for the pillow case.

Can you send an email or call the Troseths and thank them for the letter they sent me?

Love,

Elder Harris
